Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong NPV uplift, fully funded development, and a favorable carried-interest structure reduce funding risk and imply potential multiple expansion as first production approaches. Positive macro exposure to copper/gold in Ecuador supports SRL's valuation upside, though execution risk remains.
